Grades

Select Grade

A clean, modern appearance obtained by selecting boards showing a minimal amount of natural features whilst exposing the tones and textures that distinguish the rich colours and grain patterns of the timber. This premium grade limits other natural features in the timber.

Standard and Better Grade

A mixture of select and standard grades.

A grade which allows some of the natural features, including gum veins, insect markings, surface checks and small knots, while at the same time maintaining durability and structural performance.

Utility Grade

Embossed with natures signature. This grade allows a high level of natural features, including gum veins, insect markings, surface checks and small knots and other natural imperfections. It will often be supplied with shorter length material.

Applications

  • marinas
  • wharves
